The Threat
AI-Generated Images Amplify Misinformation
Research from MIT found that fake news spreads six times faster than real news on social media. AI-generated and manipulated images make fabricated stories more believable, undermining trust in legitimate journalism and democratic processes.
- Viral AI-generated images have fooled people during major news events
- Propaganda operations use AI to create fake evidence and scenarios
- Manipulated images influence elections, markets, and public opinion
- Traditional fact-checking cannot keep pace with AI image generation
How It Works
Verify Before You Share
Our AI detection tool helps you identify potentially fake or AI-generated news images, empowering you to stop misinformation from spreading.
Question Viral Images
When you encounter a shocking or emotionally charged image, pause before sharing. Download or screenshot the image.
Run AI Detection
Upload the image to our detector to check for signs of AI generation or manipulation.
Cross-Reference Sources
Check if reputable news outlets are reporting the same story. Use reverse image search to find the original source.
Share Responsibly
Only share images from verified sources. If AI is detected, do not spread the image and report it to the platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tool detect all types of image manipulation?
Our tool specializes in detecting AI-generated images. It can identify content from generators like Nano Banana, Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion. Traditional photo editing (Photoshop) may require additional analysis tools.
How do I know if a news image is from a legitimate source?
Check if the image is used by multiple reputable news organizations. Look for photo credits and source attribution. Verify the story is covered by established outlets, not just social media posts.
What should I do if I find false information being shared?
Report the content to the platform, comment with accurate information if appropriate, and avoid engaging in ways that increase the post visibility. Share fact-checks from reputable organizations.
Are news organizations using AI to verify images?
Yes, many news organizations are adopting AI detection tools as part of their fact-checking process. Tools like ours help both journalists and the public verify visual content from media outlets and social media platforms.
How can I become better at spotting fake images?
Look for inconsistencies in lighting, shadows, and reflections. Check for unusual textures, especially in skin, hair, and backgrounds. Be skeptical of images that seem designed to provoke strong emotions.
